Amateur Courtney Paige is from the Jersey Shore, but unlike some people, you won’t find her dancing on – or lying under – the table, beachfront club or elsewhere. Driven, independent and possessed of an entrepreneurial spirit, the hardworking Courtney has turned heads, but she’s made smart moves, too. She’s the proud owner of a successful ballet and fitness studio in her new hometown of Los Angeles, California, practicing Pilates with a focus matched only by your eyes on her red-hot pictorials. When she’s not balancing on the barre, she’s balancing on a bar stool – having a beer with her guy friends, watching sports, and enjoying her new life and good fortune. Courtney is an American Indian by heritage, with long, sleek black hair, high cheekbones, and a piercing pair of ice-blue eyes. As a fitness instructor, she’s used to being watched, and she’s very open, focused and confident in front of the camera. “I always had dreams of moving to Los Angeles and becoming a model,” says Courtney. Boy, are we glad she decided to follow her dreams. “It has been far more rewarding than I could have ever imagined.” After a few appearances on Playboy TV, The Smoking Jacket and a centerfold in Spanish Maxim, it was just good business sense to try out for Playboy Plus. “I love Playboy,” gushes Courtney. “It’s one of the very few publications that casts models in a beautiful light. And I love being naked. It’s so far from my everyday job.” But as a fitness instructor, her job is to work her body, and all of her hard work has definitely paid off. “I have been able to turn my love for ballet and fitness into a very successful business,” she happily concedes, “so right now I’m pretty much on top of the world!” She’s got it all figured out in Los Angeles, but Courtney admits that she’s a hometown girl at heart. “I love that I grew up on the Jersey Shore. No matter how long I’ve been away, it will always be home.” In her Facetime interview, Courtney talks Ferraris, hot girls and Megan Fox.
